Frazz by Jef Mallett follows the adventures of an unexpected role model: an elementary-school janitor who's also a Renaissance man. While he's sweeping the hall, he's whistling Beethoven. Or Lyle Lovett. He paints the woodwork in the classrooms; he paints a Da Vinci on the cafeteria wall. He's a trusted authority figure who is every kid's buddy. He took the janitor's job while he was a struggling songwriter, and when he finally sold a hit song, he decided to stay on at school. Frazz appears in 200 newspapers worldwide, including the Los Angeles Times, Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune and Detroit News. "A few years back, I wrote and illustrated a children's book," says Mallett. "When I was traveling around reading it at school assemblies, I noticed that often, the most respected, best-liked grown-up in the building was the janitor. And I thought, 'Hmm, there's a comic strip in that.'" Often praised for its intelligent wit, gentle spirit and effortless diversity, Frazz won a Wilbur Award from the Religion Communicators Council in 2003 and 2005 for excellence in communicating values and ethics.

“When does he become the bully?”
.
It all comes down to motivations. You don’t find bullies aligned with good, for example. So many today push evil in one form or another, and won’t accept any sort of rational debate.
.
So today we have bullies like “Lady Gaga” bullying people even while starting an anti-bullying group. Atheists viciously attacking others, but then claiming to be victims. Socialists pushing some truly horrible things like Eugenics, but you are not allowed to defend yourself from them. The U.S. government being the ultimate discriminator and bully, countrywide, pushing “equality” in civil service, but not competence, so now we have agencies with more than 50% of of their employees not meeting the basic standards for their job slots.
.
We have bullies that can’t handle free speech, using every excuse to prevent it, such as preventing things from being printed, published, etc. that are factually true, but they don’t portray what the bully wants to be “true.”

Typically the red squirrels are much larger than the greys. I’m just sayin.

Don’t talk rubbish. Look it up.
Red squirrel – 19-23 cm body length, weight 240 – 250g
Grey squirrel – 24 – 26 body length, weight 450 – 650g (i.e. (as you are obviously thick) MORE THAN TWICE AS HEAVY – OFTEN ALMOST 3 TIMES)
If you are going to argue facts rather than commenting on the cartoon, get the facts right.

Here in Pennsylvania, our “red squirrels” are actually chipmunks, which are much smaller than gray squirrels.

maybe because they can’t see the cars, they can only feel the vibrations on the road and don’t know exactly where the car is
